Who has a stock height Bronco ?
I need the dimension from floor to bottom of stock bumper.
Trying to do some geometrical figuring on how far to lower my plow mount

My 66 is 23" to the bottom of the frame horn. It does have new Duff coils. I think they are stock height. The were added when the front end sagged due to the ridiculous bumper and winch (which have been removed).

Interesting...........thanks for the measurement.
Mine measures 25-5/8" and that is with 4-1/2" coil springs and 33" tires
So, assuming that Meyer designed the mount for their plow based on a stock height Bronco, then I will lower it by 2-1/2" and call it a day.
That should help improve the blade from tripping so easily.

I just measured my front axle to frame and got 10". So maybe he put a lifted spring in to compensate for the extra weight.
Edit: I don't have a stock height 66, I have a 66 LUBR. The back measured 8" and has a 1" lift block, and maybe an add-a-leaf.

18 3/4" with new WH stock height coils and 225/75/15 tires.
Sorry. Forgot to measure the other day.
That's on T.O.

That makes way more sense, but now I gotta lower it even more
Thank you

Or just buy another Bronco to push the plow. You know, another option.
